It is always an evenings work as I have quite a big family plus I need to write 40+ for work, so my Christmas CD goes on plus all the tree lights etc and I sit and feel all christmassy and write cards.

Ours went up last weekend as step grandaughter was here so it was something to keep her occupied.

We put ours up last weekend as well, as the grandson was here and it is his job to put the chocolates and crackers on the tree, we wont see him again till next week and there was no way the hubby would wait that long, he is very much a Dec 1st sort of person and he moans he cant do it before then LOL.
We are planning to take the grandson to see Father Christmas next Saturday, cant wait to see his face he is as that wonderful 4 yrs old where everything is magical.

I'm 35 and I've still got an advent calendar - a yummy Thorntons one!

Helen you're so much better than me - thankfully Dave's grandchildren hardly ever visit, but even if they did they wouldn't be telling me where to put the tree!

The chocolate is lovely isn't it Lesley? I don't usually like the chocolate in advent calendars as it can taste stale, but not this!

I have to agree it's lovely, he bought us one last year too and do you know last year was the first time I'd ever had an advent calendar. x
